Meghan Markle could be moving in with Prince Harry as soon as next month, adding further speculation that a royal engagement is on the horizon, a royal expert says.

Royal expert Katie Nicholl tells ET Online sources had confirmed to her that Meghan was “likely to be moving to London as soon as November”.

“She’s not signing up for another series of Suits. She’s planning to leave Canada and make London her new, permanent home."

Nicholl adds there is “a lot of talk” about exactly where the couple will live, with Harry currently residing at Nottingham Cottage, a small three-bedroom cottage in the Kensington Palace grounds.

“I am told she will be moving into Kensington Palace — in fact, she already keeps a wardrobe of clothes at Harry’s house over in Kensington Palace and she’s going to be spending all of her time over here from now on.”

However, Nicholl suggests Harry is likely to move into a “bigger apartment” within the palace grounds once he and his Hollywood starlet girlfriend become engaged. This is also likely to be nigh, she says, pointing to Markle’s recent meeting with the Queen as a likely sign.

When it comes to exactly when the proposal might occur, Nicholl says it is “all about the timing”, speculating the royal engagement may be announced in the new year.

“You have to remember there are other engagements and events coming up in the royal calendar that an engagement simply couldn't clash with. I think that the new year is probably a more realistic prospect for an engagement announcement.”

She predicts the couple could wed as soon as June, which she says would coincide nicely with the couple’s second anniversary. Any earlier could clash with the newest royal baby with Duchess Kate and Prince William expecting in April.

“The duchess will have to get her figure back in time for a wedding and Prince William, who we are all assuming will be best man, will need to be available and not thinking about rushing off to a hospital,” Nicholl says.

“So, I think there will need to be a bit of space between the royal baby being born mid-April and Meghan and Harry tying the knot. This summer is probably going to be the best bet for a royal wedding.”
